The maker movement is a conglomerate of artists, crafters
and programmers that all share the same common goal, make the unimaginable and
do it yourself. This do it yourself ethic of creating art installations or even
just simple technical projects is fast becoming a facet of society.
The website www.Instructables.com is a perfect example of
the newly found maker movement is being developed by the “Maker” community.
This site has a collection of DIY projects and pieces of arts and crafts instructions;
they are outlined in a clear repeated format. These instructables can be
printed or saved for later use in making art or other technical projects.
I think that websites like instructables will help to further
develop a rich and diverse collection of projects and art on the internet will
further spread and develop rich communities based off of the projects contained
within www.instructables.com
For instance through instructables.com I went and downloaded
the plans to make a fuzz box for my electric guitar and after a trip to Radioshack for basic components and ordering a few key components off of the internet, and maybe taking apart an old piece of electronics for a switch or something else in the salvaged parts bin a week later I
had a functioning fuzz box I built exclusively from the plans I found on
www.instructables.com . Instructables is a great website to kickstart a new DIY
project .
